For most students, college is a time of dizzying personal change, both confusing and exhilarating. Now a new film, Seniors: Four Years in Retrospect prepares undergraduates to take full advantage of these invaluable years of questioning and growth. The filmmakers of Frosh, the widely acclaimed chronicle of one year in a racially diverse, freshman residence hall, returned to Stanford three years later to see how college life had changed five of these students.
- Monique, daughter of a crack-addicted mother, gets help from several black women mentors, graduates with honors and plans to go on for her Ph.D.
- Cheng, an academically driven, politically conservative Chinese American, drops pre-law for a high risk career as a Singapore venture capitalist.
- Sam, a white, male, heterosexual "jock," accepts increasing campus diversity but still seeks his own cultural enclave in the world of sports and fraternities.
- Brandi, an upper middle class African American student, drops out for two years' experience in the "real world."
- Debbie, a white pre-med major, switches to Women's Studies where she develops the self-confidence to go on to med school.
